Katrina Merton screamed at the top of her lungs. The potato monster, or Lanx, was biting into the flesh of her hand.
"Get this thing off of me!", she yelled.
After all of the bad luck the Grool gave her, her friends, and her family, a freaking Lanx had to show up beneath the kitchen sink that the Grool was in. No wonder it's called the cousin of the Grool.
She started to feel really tired. The Lanx was starting to drain her life energy from her body. She had to think of something fast before she slipped into a very deep sleep. The Lanx does not let go until it has sucked the life energy out of a person.
Daniel, her little brother, grabbed a bowl and quickly filled it with extremely hot water. Meanwhile, Carlos, Daniels friend, began stabbing the Lanx with a kitchen knife. That probably wasn't a good idea.
"OUCH! NO, NO, STOP! PLEASE! IT'S GOING THROUGH!", screamed Katrina.
Then Daniel put the hot water on the Lanx, it burned over the creature and onto Katrina's arm.
"OIL! PUT SOME OIL ON IT!, screamed Katrina.
"Hey, it works on ticks.", said Carlos.
So him and Daniel grabbed Olive and Vegetable oil. They poured it on the potato creature.
"If this doesn't work, then nothing will.", said Daniel.
Then the Lanx started to squeal. It latched off of Katrina's arm.
"Yes! It worked!", screamed Katrina.
"Yeah, it turns out that you can get a Lanx off with Fungus Oil, which is made with a Vegetable and Olive oil combo.", said Daniel, reading his Encyclopedia of Monsters book.
Then Katrina's dad walked in.
"Hey guys, I heard screams. What's-"
The Lanx let loose a blood-curdling squeal. Then it jumped and latched itself upon Dad's face.
"Aw, nuts.", said Katrina.
